Provided you have it backed up, you could most likely remove:

*.BAK
*.TMP
*.TEMP
i386 directory and contents
*.txt
*.log (you will want to be careful with these, if Exchange or Active Directory is running on the server)

The Anti-virus folder, would depend on which third-party utility you were using.

On Windows 2003, you could run the Disk Cleanup utility to remove a good bit of those files.
